Percussion Ensemble Program Notes The title Crown of Thorns is an obvious reference to Christ’s “Crown of Thorns,” but the name first came to me as a possible title for a piece from seeing a plant called “Crown of Thorns” at the New York Botanical Gardens. This is a rambling, thorny, desert plant form the Middle East, with small, very simple and pretty red flowers. The rambling, interweaving, vin-like stems suggested music to me. As I meditated on the words “crown of thorns,” and on the plant, the idea of a work for keyboard percussion ensemble, the following image arose: a darkening sky seven starts are visible: the seven-starred halo the golden light the hands of blessing The seven-starred halo is the crown of thorns transcended. It is the crown of highest spiritual power arrived through the greatest depth of suffering. The imagery is Christian, but the experience transcends religion, and is universal. The music is at times sober and reflective, but is, for the most part, filled with the joy and energy of liberation. Concert Band Program Notes Second Suite in F Op. 28 No. 2 (1911)- Gustav Holst (1874-1934) Like the First Suite of 1909, the Second Suite for military band had to wait more than ten years before it entered the repertoire [though it has not lacked in performance since]. Composed in 1911, it did not receive a public performance until June 30th 1922, when the band of the Royal Military School of Music, Kneller Hall, played it at the Royal Albert Hall, London. The program note for that performance stated that the Suite had been ‘put aside and forgotten’ after 1911. Yet the manuscript (now in the British Library, London, Add. MS 47825) shows signs of considerable haste, and a great deal of revision, and Imogen Holst [the composer’s daughter] believed that the work was originally written for a specific occasion (possibly the 1911 ‘Festival of Empire’ held at the Crystal Palace), even if it was not performed at that time. Unlike its predecessor, the Second Suite is based entirely on material from folk songs and morris dances. Notes by Colin Matthews Vesuvius (1999)- Frank Ticheli (b. 1958) “Vesuvius is, above all, a furious dance.” Frank Ticheli’s music has been described as being “optimistic and thoughtful” (Los Angeles Times), “lean and muscular” (The New York Times), “brilliantly effective” (Miami Herald) and “powerful, deeply felt crafted with impressive flair and an ear for striking instrumental colors” (South Florida Sun-Sentinel). Ticheli (b. 1958) joined the faculty of the University of Southern California’s Thornton School of Music in 1991, where he is Pro- fessor of Composition. From 1991 to 1998, Ticheli was Composer in Residence of the Pacific Symphony. Ticheli’s orchestral works have received considerable recognition in the U.S. and Europe. Orchestral perfor- mances have come from the Philadelphia Orchestra, Atlanta Symphony, Detroit Symphony, Dallas Symphony, American Composers Orchestra, the radio orchestras of Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Saarbruecken, and Austria, and the orchestras of Austin, Bridgeport, Charlotte, Colorado, Haddonfield, Harrisburg, Hong Kong, Jacksonville, Lan- sing, Long Island, Louisville, Lubbock, Memphis, Nashville, Omaha, Phoenix, Portland, Richmond, San Antonio, San Jose, Wichita Falls, and others. Ticheli is well known for his works for concert band, many of which have become standards in the repertoire. In addition to composing, he has appeared as guest conductor of his music at Carnegie Hall, at many American universities and music festivals, and in cities throughout the world, including Schladming (Austria), Beijing and Shanghai, London and Manchester, Singapore, Rome, Sydney, and numerous cities in Japan. He is the recipient of a 2012 Arts and Letters Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, his third award from that prestigious organization. His Symphony No. 2 was named winner of the 2006 NBA/William D. Revelli Memorial Band Composition Contest. Other awards include the Walter Beeler Memorial Prize and First Prize awards in the Texas Sesquicentennial Orchestral Composition Competition, Britten-on-the-Bay Choral Composition Contest, and Virginia CBDNA Symposium for New Band Music. Ticheli was awarded national honorary membership to Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, “bestowed to individuals who have significantly contributed to the cause of music in America,” and the A. Austin Harding Award by the American School Band Directors Association, “given to individuals who have made exceptional contributions to the school band movement in America.” At USC, he has received the Virginia Ramo Award for excellence in teaching, and the Dean’s Award for Professional Achievement. Ticheli received his doctoral and masters degrees in composition from The University of Michigan. His works are published by Manhattan Beach, Southern, Hinshaw, and Encore Music, and are recorded on the labels of Albany, Chandos, Clarion, Klavier, Koch International, Mark and Naxos. Ticheli writes: Mt. Vesuvius, the volcano that destroyed Pompeii in A.D. 79, is an icon of power and energy in this work. Originally I had in mind a wild and passionate dance such as might have been performed at an ancient Roman Bacchanalia. During the compositional process, I began to envision something more explosive and fiery. With its driving rhythms, exotic modes, and quotations from the Dies Irae from the medieval Requiem Mass, it became evident that the Bacchanalia I was writing could represent a dance from the final days of the doomed city of Pompeii. Notes by the Composer Symphonic Band Program Notes MetaMarch- Steven Bryant (b. 1972) Steven Bryant, the son of a professional trumpeter and music educator, composes music across a variety of media and ensembles, ranging from electronic and electro-acoustic works, to chamber music, to works for wind ensembles and orchestras. Steven strongly values music education, and his creative output includes a number of works for young and developing musicians. Steven’s music has been performed by numerous ensembles across North America, Europe, and East Asia. He is a three- time winner of the National Band Association’s William D. Revelli Composition Award: in 2010 for Ecstatic Waters, in 2008 for Suite Dreams, and in 2007 for his work Radiant Joy. His first orchestral work, Loose Id for Orchestra, hailed by celebrated composer Samuel Adler as “orchestrated like a virtuoso,” was premiered by The Juilliard Symphony and is featured on a CD release by the Bowling Green Philharmonia on Albany Records. Alchemy in Silent Spaces, a new large- scale work commissioned by James DePreist and The Juilliard School, was premiered by the Juilliard Orchestra in May 2006. Since its 2008 premiere, his seminal work for large ensemble and electronics Ecstatic Waters has become the most performed work of its kind in the world. Steven is a founding member of the composer-consortium BCM International: four stylistically-diverse composers from across the country. BCM's music has generated a following of thousands around the world and two recordings: "BCM Saves the World" (2002, Mark Custom Records) and "BCM Men of Industry" (2004, BCM Records). Steven studied composition with John Corigliano at The Juilliard School, Cindy McTee at the University of North Texas, and Francis MacBeth at Ouachita University, and trained for one summer in the mid-1980s as a breakdancer. He resides in Durham, NC. For more information, please visit his website at http://www.stevenbryant.com. Ecstatic Fanfare (2012) is a short fanfare based on the tutti section from Movement’ I of Ecstatic Waters (2008) and unlike that work, it does not require electronics, water glasses, celesta, or a Mahler hammer.

  • Bloom PERUSAL SCORE - NOT for PERFORMANCE USE Program Note Bloom Is a Celebration of Springtime
    PERUSAL SCORE - NOT FOR PERFORMANCE USE STEVEN BRYANT Bloom PERUSAL SCORE - NOT FOR PERFORMANCE USE Program Note Bloom is a celebration of springtime. The bright, sunny days, with nature in bloom all around, give me a powerful sense of well-being, simultaneously tranquil and exuberant. Bloom is my attempt to recreate that feeling. Performance Tips The work should be warm and sustained. The biggest challenges are intonation (because of the sustained tones and cluster chords, which should have a minimum of vibrato), and endurance (for younger groups). The tempo change at measure 30 shouldn’t rush - let the music flow smoothly with an unhurried sense of tranquility. Stress the overall arc of the piece, focusing on a gradual build to the climax in measure 131. The tempos are not rigid throughout, though abrupt deviations aren’t appropriate. Let it breathe. I intend for this piece to provide an atypical and more mature musical experience for younger bands than that to which they’re accustomed. Although commissioned for a middle school honor band, the piece is intended to be rewarding for ensembles of all levels. About the Composer Steven Bryant (b. 1972, Little Rock, AR) is an active composer and conductor with a varied catalog, including works for wind ensemble, orchestra, electronic and electro-acoustic creations, chamber music, and music for the web. Steven's music has been performed by numerous ensembles across the United States, as well as in England, Japan, Canada, Australia, Singapore and Germany. His first orchestral work, Loose Id for Orchestra, hailed by celebrated composer Samuel Adler as “orchestrated like a virtuoso,” was premiered by The Juilliard Symphony and will be featured on an upcoming release by the Bowling Green Philharmonia on Albany Records.

  • Beginnings and Endings- GT Concert Band and Symphonic Band- April 13, 2014
    Beginnings and Endings- GT Concert Band and Symphonic Band- April 13, 2014 Concert Band Chorale and Alleluia- Howard Hanson (1896-1981) Chorale and Alleluia was completed in January 1954, and was Dr. Hanson's first work for symphonic band. It was given its premiere on February 26 at the convention of the American Bandmasters Association at West Point with Colonel William Santelmann, leader of the U.S. Marine Band, conducting. The composition opens with a fine flowing chorale. Soon the joyous Alleluia theme appears and is much in evidence throughout. A bold statement of a new melody makes its appearance in lower brasses in combination with the above themes. The effect is one of cathedral bells, religious exaltation, solemnity, and dignity. The music is impressive, straightforward, and pleasingly non- dissonant, and its resonance and sonority are ideally suited to the medium of the modern symphonic band. Howard Hanson was one of the most important composers and music administrators of the 20th Century. In 1924, he began a 40-year career as Director of the Eastman School of Music at the University of Rochester. It was during Hanson's tenure that Frederick Fennell founded the Eastman Symphonic Wind Ensemble. Hanson was the recipient of many awards for his compositions, including the 1944 Pulitzer Prize for his Symphony No. 4. Bloom- Steven Bryant (b. 1972) Bloom is a celebration of springtime.
